I mean, his personality and background match someone who would invent something like Bitcoin. Eccentric, libertarian, crazy about encryption and security. Top that with a background in physics and computer science, and...I really don't know. Guys, this really could be him.

I think it's him, but the overwhelming majority of Bitcoin redditors don't think so and are pissed at the reporter.

I can't understand the hate for the reporter. I think she followed a lead and there is strong evidence that it's him. We may never know because he can't prove he's not. Unless Satoshi gives us a message with a signed private key and proves somehow that it's not him, he'll always be the guy I think it is.

There are only like 4 Satoshi Nakamotos in existence. 1 of them is dead and the other 2 don't fit the profile at all. It's just a little too coincidental that somebody with the name Satoshi Nakamoto would fit the profile exactly.

The only reason I can see him denying it now is that he used to work for the feds. Those people are used to telling bald faced lies and denying involvement in things.

It seems to me that most of the hate for the reporter is stemming from the fact that she posted an image of his house for the world to see without his permission. No self-respecting journalist goes and does something like that. Then again, the world of mainstream journalism is pretty much dead.

For me it's about security concerns. At this point if it's him I don't think killing him will accomplish anything, but it might be considered a good move if the State thinks that he'll build other subversive stuff.
